Yeah, for a while even I thought they're gonna do it, especially after the 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th wickets fell so quickly in succession. But Australia is after all Australia, and Kenya is Kenya. But the Kenyans have improved their game remarkably well considering how new they are in the international scene. I mean, they aren't even a test team yet.

Actually, I want India to be the one who beats Australia. :cool: So I was hoping Kenya would lose today. Anyway, today's match has exposed one weak side of Australia. Left arm spin. They can't face it. Now only if Saurav brings in Karthik Muralidharan... :cool:

Yes, even I think Mongia should watch the matches from the dressing room. Kumble should be brought in, or at least Ajit Agarkar, or in the case of Australia, I think Muralidharan would be a good bet. I wonder what Mongia has done for the team so far that he's playing while Kumble isn't.

The advantage with playing both Kumble and Harbajan is that if at least one of them bowls well, that's darn good for us. When we play Aussies in the finals the 5th bowler will be a problem area!

While I can't say for sure, I don't think so. I don't know what ICC's criteria is for awarding test status to teams, but maybe it depends on the number of years you have played, or the number of ODIs you have played, or how the playing facilities are there in your country, so you could host a few international tournaments. I don't know. But I also think that whatever criteria Bangladesh fulfilled when it got its test status, they still fulfil it now. Their game hasn't changed, at least. They used to play bad, and they still play bad. :)

Yes, and the best thing about Kumble is that he's a thinking bowler. Always has his thinking cap on. Even though he can't turn the ball much, he has enough variations in the line, length and pace of the ball that he can easily beat the batsman.

Partially true I guess, but what I think happened is that Indian and Pak boards must have pushed for Bangladesh so that they can have an extra vote in the ICC. If it was Kenya then it'd be SA and Zimb that benefit. Typically you see this divide in the ICC. India, Pak, SL stick together. Nice to say that about India and Pak being in one team for a change :-) And despite all outward differences the Aussies and Brits stick together, and very curiously the West Indians support them [they havent lost their british colonial hangover I guess]. And the south africans and zimbabweans also seem to have a british-aussie tilt. Same for NZ. Hmmmm, maybe we should try and get test status for Maldives, the difficulty would obviously be to find 11 fit adult males who will agree to dress in white and stand in the sun for 7 hours ! Nish

I still remember Kumble yorking the last 3 Windies batsmen in the finals of the Hero Cup in calcutta!!! That was a night I'll remember forever... Rohit Sinha wrote: Hopefully Saurav is reading this. I seriously doubt Saurav would be a CPian. Kumble does a little programming but he prolly does that Microsoft cartoon thingie whatdayacall it - forgot... ah got it - VB :-) Nish
